Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMark Robinson is an Infrastructure Engineer in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building reliable, cost-effective systems that bridge engineering, product and operations. He has driven substantial impact at Plaid—cutting cloud spend by 25%, automating safe production deployments, and modernizing build systems to enable self-service—after shipping consumer-facing features at Uber and designing scalable monitoring and authentication systems earlier in his career. Mark thinks holistically about software delivery, prioritizing collaboration to avoid the “throw it over the wall” trap and mentoring hiring pipelines (interviewing roughly 150 candidates per year). An active backend contributor to the bors-ng merge bot, he’s comfortable modifying CI/CD tooling and GitHub API integrations to improve developer workflows. He pairs strong hands-on engineering with a knack for finding systemic waste and pragmatic improvements that save money and developer time.
